The Apple iPhone 5s was announced on September 10, 2013. Repair of this device is similar to the previous models, and requires screwdrivers and prying tools. Available as GSM or CDMA / 16, 32, or 64 GB / Silver, Gold, and Space Gray.

@mayer You know, considering that we are concerned about screw length differences of only 0.1mm and that the consequence of mis-measuring said screws is killing the phone, I think it makes more sense to spend the extra 10$ and get a proper digital caliper that will give you the proper measurement.

From experience I can differentiate screws to use for the long screw damage prone spots. They generally use the shortest small screws and without trying to tighten the screws you can avoid easily causing long screw damage on the board.

Just keep note of the long screw hole damage areas and you should be fine.

@benjamen50 yeah, but most people don't practice level one repairs on a daily basis, which is why they come here for help. And in all honesty, you don't really need to put those plates back on. It'll function just fine, and in the event the do pop off. Just open your phone, and put em back in

Thanks everyone. It would be good if you could get an iPhone set of screws separated by length, but I guess you cant. Oh well. I think I've done it enough times to know which are the screws to watch out for. Should be fine.
